Atsign Technology for IoT
Iot Secured and Simplified
The future of IoT has been valued at over $12 trillion by 2030. With billions of devices already in use, and with billions more to come, how can we secure all of the data and all of the things in a simple way, right now?

The open-source atPlatform actually makes it super simple. All applications built on the atPlatform are end-to-end encrypted (E2EE), peer-to-peer, and completely privacy compliant, with no extra work on the developer’s part.
This is possible because the atPlatform is built on a revolutionary new open protocol called–you guessed it–the atProtocol. One of the most-loved applications of this E2EE protocol is the ability to simplify administration and securely manage connected devices. With Atsign IoT, you can take advantage of having no open network ports, no VPNs, no passwords, and no static IP addresses or firewall port configuration, and a significantly reduced attack surface.
For communication, your IoT devices use atSigns, unique identifiers that use end-to-end encryption to send and authenticate data on applications built on the atPlatform.
IoT with Atsign is secure and simple. Want proof? Check out this awesome tool called SSH No Ports, developed by our co-founder and CTO, Colin. NoPorts allows system administrators to remotely connect to an IoT device without needing to open any ports.
AI Sprawl: The Network Nightmare Caused by the AI Security Paradox
AI Sprawl is the resulting network complexity that occurs when enterprises must deploy many specialized AI agents to secure and govern the use of large language models (LLMs).
Why the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Demands a Structural Rethink of AI Security
AI agents using MCP bypass traditional network security, demanding an identity-first, Zero Trust architecture to eliminate the risks created by exposed ports and centralized tokens.
Why Our Cybersecurity Industry Is Fundamentally Broken
The $200B cybersecurity paradox is that breaches worsen because the industry’s flawed economic model rewards liability transfer over true prevention, making a shift to preemptive, connectionless Zero Trust necessary.
Governing AI: Essential Questions for Board Members to Ensure Safe and Secure Deployment
As AI transforms business, board members must ask critical questions to oversee its safe, secure, and ethical deployment and mitigate new, evolving risks.
